Bread is a staple source of carbohydrate in almost any diet. Traditional leavened bread, however, is bulky, filling and bloating. Pita (yes, one "t" only) is an excellent alternative, as it forms a handy pouch to make a pita sandwich, or can be dipped into a condiment.
The bread is nice and soft, yet retains its integrity and structure even when packed with food. When toasted it becomes crisp and crunchy and can be dipped in oil and salt for a Mediterranean sack.

Advantages: Cheap, tasty, quick to cook healthy food Disadvantages: Difficult to cut open
...supermarkets, but I do like Sainsbury's as it has quite a 'nutty' texture without being overwhelming.
I tend to stick the packet in the freezer when I get home, and defrost them in the microwave for 30 seconds as and when I want them. I know the pitta purists amongt you might gasp with horror, but it stops them going off, and as long as you eat them within a month or so, they won't suffer any cardboard-like transformations when you do come to defrost ... ...- they don't leave the stodgy aftertaste that you can get, but only if you eat them fresh. Freezing does deteriorate them at a faster rate than the wholemeal.
The disadvantage is a bit general-to-all-pittas, admittedly, but if you try cutting a pitta bread when cold it can end in pitta-sandwich. It's easier to either grill or microwave it until it's warmer and then start incising. ...

Advantages: healthy,ideal for a sandwich filling Disadvantages: expensive/too thick and heavy
Well for once I decided to buy my pitta bread from a major supermarket. Usually I buy my pitta from Halal butchers, asian or corner shops. I know the one I like. But this time I had run out and I needed some ,so I bought some from sainsburys. What I do with my pitta, well usually i would use it as a sandwich filler: I would put anything in it: cooked chicken or tuna, tinned tuna with salads , everything and its deliciious!!!
I would also use it ... ...the sauce and its also delicious.
When i use it as a sandwich filler I put the pitta bread in the toaster but not too long otherwise it becomes hard as cardboard!! it must be soft enough to allow you too open it and put the filling of your choice in it. Well with the Sainsburys pitta it wouldnt happen, after a few seconds in teh toaster it stays quite dry and bland and was difficult to open. The bread is too thick and not manageable. So really i ...
